Dancin' Dove

His dove is two years older
But she calls him big brother
Because he's a kindred survivor.
He mends her wings
By guiding her out of wounded nights
With his healing light.
As she rest on his forearm
She graciously spreads her delicate wings
And together they dance in the air
Teaching other survivors the flight
Of a wonderful loving life.
